This is delicious news... news you know is busting veins on liberal necks the globe over...
Loving it:
Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that's somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country's difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. The closeness in the Obama/Bush numbers also has implications for the 2010 elections. Using the Bush card may not be particularly effective for Democrats anymore, which is good news generally for Republicans...
This piece made my friggin' day.

Now that the “Change” has been summarily dismissed, “Hope” will soon be put out to the curb also.
Boy, couldn't see this coming ;)

I missed W during the election cycle and before the great 0 took office. I miss him more and more.
I was never one of those people who were constantly harping on him for everything he did wrong, either, even though I disagreed with some things.
I always appreciated his strength of character and true support and love for the military.

I have been missing him for five years now. I miss his first term.

George w. Bush is a man of conviction. He did not care about the polls nor his ratings.
W will go down in history as a great president. Obama will see to it.
